I had the same problem with one device. Some files just got currupt after
a while. I had the problem reding the file from a linux samba client or
reading the files directly on the slug. One thing I tried was to copy a
200 MBytes file on the slug did a verify and the file was fine. After
waiting for some hours and doing the verify again, it failed. After doing
something else the verify was even successful again!

Replacing the unit with a different one solved the problem. Exactly the
same configuration works fine now. It seems that some devices have some
kind of memory problem.

I've had my NSLU2 for a long time and have never had any problem
with files other than the Outlook .PST files. I actualy have two
NSLU2s one at a vacation house and it acts the same way. I've read
alot about the various corruption problems others have had and I
don't have them. I think there is a problem specific to .PST
files. If you do a Google search on NSLU2 and Outlook you will find
other references to this problem. I haven't seen a solution.

I have the same problem. It has existed in all versions of the
stock NSLU2 firmware as well as UNSLUNG. I have been storing my
Outlook .pst files on a samba share on a redhat linux machine for
years with no problems. I would love to move them to the NSLU2
since it has now replaced almost all the other functions I used the
linus box for. I have not tried switching the NSLU2 to use samba 3.

Hi, I have the same problem, and for me it always happens when i store
the file on the NSLU2. When I work with other files (word, excel) I
often get prompted with a message when editing the files saying that
the file has been modified by another user. Could this have something
todo with the problem, a timestamp error of some kind?

I had the same problem with one device. Some files just got currupt after
a while. I had the problem reding the file from a linux samba client or
reading the files directly on the slug. One thing I tried was to copy a
200 MBytes file on the slug did a verify and the file was fine. After
waiting for some hours and doing the verify again, it failed. After doing
something else the verify was even successful again!

Replacing the unit with a different one solved the problem. Exactly the

I have the .pst file problem with Linksys firmware V2.3r24, V2.3r25,
Unslung firmware versions 1.11, 2.12, 3.16, 3.17, and 3.18. So
unfortunatly there isn't a version of firmware that fixes the
problem. Although I have never tried Linksys V2.3r29. Perhaps
samba version 3 might help.

Hi JN,

the problem was not directly related to the size of the file, but the
chance that it got corrupted wath much bigger with large ones. The files
were still ok on the disk but the slug was not able to read them correctly
sometimes.

I did not try to put any .pst files on a share so this might be an
unrelated problem.

Best regards,
Bernd
